VCL weld: create LibreOffice GUI from design files - LibreOffice Development Blog
Here I discuss how to use UI files designed with Glade to create LibreOffice user interfaces with VCL weld mechanism.Hossein Nourikhah (LibreOffice Development Blog)
What a refreshing story! I imagine many of us here owe a great deal to @libreoffice a software suite that has freed us from the grip of the document monopoly, thus broken our dependency on the fate of a single company.
If you're curious about how LibreOffice became what it is today, I highly recommend watching this in your spare time: youtu.be/9M468Krlawo

@RaccoonForFriendica a new version 0.2.0 has been released.
Changelog:
🦝 feat: add support for MastodonRedirect;
🦝 feat: export/import app settings to/from JSON;
🦝 feat: export contact list from profile;
🦝 feat: allow changing markup mode in post creation;
🦝 fix: retain scrolling state after navigation;
🦝 fix: newlines after titles in Markdown preview;
🦝 fix: avoid self mention when replying;
🦝 fix: retrieve source to edit post;
🦝 enhancement: populate current app icon value in settings;
🦝 chore: update manual and project documentation;
🦝 chore: typo in Fastlane metadata.
For those who have lost it, there has been a 0.1.1 in the meantime, which was mainly due to a metadata issue which blocked the submission on F-Droid, but it also included:
🦝 feat: add support for alternate (classic) and monochrome app icon;
🦝 fix: rendering images of different heights in carousels;
🦝 fix: rendering GIFs (or images with unbound constraints).
After the app gets published on the stores, we're going to move towards a more predictable release cycle (e.g. monthly stable versions and weekly betas).

I've reached the end of my first full week of using a terminal-only interface for my personal computing in 2024.
It has been quite a week.
I've had to pick up git
, which is a whole new learning curve for me, and my knowledge of tmux
has increased rapidly too.
But, in terms of getting done what I actually wanted to do? It has been absolutely fine... right up until the point when it was not, and then I struggled.
I'm writing notes as I go, for a future blogpost.

I started regularly donating about a year ago. I am now supporting 8 different projects with 20,77€ per month, and it didn't hurt at all.
Why pay for something free? Because free software only exists because other people already paid for it. Someone has to do it. It's time to do your part!
If you can afford a subscription service, then you probably can afford a little donation, too. Start with 0.1% of your income.

I recently learnt that @Codeberg has its own badge generator to let you make custom "Get it on Codeberg" badges!
Thanks to it being under an open licence, I was able to remix it for the #BananaHackers store for #KaiOS, which has so far been lacking a badge 🍌
